Mcfc Confirms Lampard Staying In Manchester For The Season

you realise both villa and Lampard are your players? you have merely loaned Frank to man c and Villa was a "guest stint" over here. To be honest you guys as a fanbase are coming across as a bunch of spoilt kids, Just using us as an example, we were told we would be able to keep our identity and our small history would be respected but cfg has gone to the lengths of even photoshopping our old logo of a fans hat because it was going onto the website. All they have done to you is not have plans for what they are doing with one of your players. The whole Villa debacle pisses us off because we sold thousands of memberships based on the fact he would be here for 10 games and they got 4. I personally wasn't a fan of him coming over anyways but it just annoyed me we built our membership drive around him
Lampard isn't our player. We fans didnt know it, but he has always been under contract with MCFC and the contract was extended until the end of the MCFC season. If he plays for us before then it will be on loan.

You realize Lampard was literally never our guy, it was a straight up lie.
And if you're angry about Villa, how can you not understand our anger with Lampard?

We were lied to and it looks like it was designed to be a lie from the beginning. They stole our guy, which forced us to take back Villa because someone has to promote our club.

Face it, Manchester is the problem.
 
question would you rather play the best league in the world for the last remaining time that you will be able to? or would you rather move early to the new club which is in a league with to be fair wouldnt be in the top 5-10 leagues in the world (not saying the aussie league is either)
If Frank didn't think he could still compete at the highest level he should have retired at the end of last season. There was never a question about his ability to play in the PL this season and not the MLS if that is what he wanted to do.

Theres a bit of a difference between our situations though, we had a player who half of our season was planned around was taken away 4 games in compared to a player who merely hasn't arrived to play for a club that isn't even in season yet. CFG are a big part of the problem but it cant be all blamed on them.

he knew he could compete but Chelsea didn't offer him a new contract.

Personally Frankie looks like he's ready for a couple more years the way he's going. I applaud his play out there, i hope the 2 DP spots on our side get filled sooner than later though

you'll find he is contracted in a way to New York just maybe it doesn't have an official starting date.

Dude, we've calculated that Lampard will miss 11 games at least if he stays til the end at Manchester. That's if he doesn't rest at all -- which you know he will.

Lampard himself is on record about the importance of him being here for training camp and bonding with the guys. He's on massive billboards saying "Buy your season tickets now!"

It doesn't matter quality of the leagues or what he wants, deals were made, promises were made and he and Manchester are going back on them now that its convenient.
 
I do agree that CFG are fucking stuff up for both of us.
Well hopefully cfg realise how much they are killing support for their teams

Its funny you literally don't even know what you're talking about but still have the audacity to come here and say we are acting like "spoilt" brats (chip, chip, cheerio)

Meanwhile you rant about a half kept Villa loan spell. My mind is blowing.

im just saying thats how it comes across because you and your club has been looked after so well by CFG whereas we have been left out in the cold.

Ok, I get that but I definitely think we've both been left out now.

Even though Manchester said it wasn't the case, its brutally obvious that there is a pecking order here and that's unfortunate.

I'd rather be a man of my word.

agreed the pecking order sucks but just remember that even now you are above us still! haha. They have their own agenda which is to spread their brand, all I will say is you guys are lucky you haven't had to go through the destruction of the club you love to build a new version
 
I can tell you this, Jason Kreis will never request to steal one of your players the way Pellegrini stole ours. Its totally against his nature.

David Villa was by the suits above because like I said they needed someone to promote the club....

cfg is a business so they go for the money, im sure if NYCFC underperforms, not in the league, but in revenue, they won't care much. not saying Melbourne doesn't, idk that situation too well. im just going by what i see.

the rumours we heard down here was that the coaching staff and everyone in the club wanted him back to "promote" and to protect them from potentially losing another player.

we are all agree there, football in both melbourne and new york are probably going to struggle to make a big profit either way its more so just about getting more manchester fans in both cities because thats where the money is
